Occurrence. The "Ingolf has taken only one .specimen of this .species. 

 South of West Iceland: St. 69: 62" 40' N. L., 22° 17' W. L., 589 fni., temp. 3-9"; i spec. 

 Distribution. According to the literature the distribution of this species is as wide as it is 

 remarkable. It was first observed on the west coast of .Scotland at ca. 56" N. L., and also in Irish 

 water.s. (Jn the .south and west coasts of Norway it has been taken at a number of localities in deej) 

 water, down to 217 fm. at least; the most northerh' of these places was Trondhjem Fjord (Storm, 

 1878I; it was also taken at BohuslJin (Goes) and in the north-easterly part of the Kattegat, in .19 to 

 25 fm. (Meinert). It has been taken in the deep part of the western Mediterranean by the "Travailleur" 

 (A. Milne-Edwards), also in the Adriatic in depths from 70 to 630 fm. On the east coast of 

 America it has been taken in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 190 fm. (Whiteaves, test. Smith). While 

 there is no reason for doubt that all these indications refer to this s])ecies, the following two apj)ear 

 to me very remarkable. Kirk (test. Alcock & Anderson) states that he has found two dead .specimens 

 at New Zealand; Alcock also (I. c.) mentions some specimens from the Arabian Sea, 636 fm., and from 

 the Bay of Bengal, off Ceylon, 800 — 637 fm. Unfortunately, Alcock says nothing as to how far he 

 has made a direct comparison between European and Indian sjieciniens, l)ut he describes his Indian 

 specimens and is so careful an observer on Decapoda that his determination should presumably be 

 accepted. 



Remarks. The single specimen lacked the first pair of thoracic legs and several other parts. 

 It differs a little in the form of the rostrum from Danish specimens; in other details I found no 

 difference.

Occurrence. The "Ingolf" has taken this beautiful species at a single station. 

 South of West Iceland: St. 69: 62°4o'N. L., 22^ 17' W. L., 5S9 fm., tenij). 3-9°; i spec. 

 Distribution. vSmith gives it from various stations off the east coast of America between 

 35° 49'/2' N. L. and 43° 10' N. L., 250 to 843 fm. A. Milne-Ivlwanls has had it from six stations in the 

 West Indies, depths from 611 fm. to "1568—1400" fm. It is also known from the Gulf of Ga.scogne, 

 depths from 346 to 638 fm. (Cauller\), from the Mediternuie:in north-west of Sardinia, 1140 fm. 

 and lower to 1494— 1508 fm. (Senna), from the Indian Ocean off Cape Natal, 440 fm. (Stebbing) 

 and from the Arabian ,Sea, 738, S24 and 836 fm. (Alcock). Faxon mentions a form, which he with
